Some people in fear played jazz music at their home so he won’t attack them. However some people didn’t fear and challenged him that they will keep their front door open and he doesn’t need to break the back door.

Many suspects were caught but no one was ever convicted. A man who was thought to be the main suspect was shot to death by one of the victim’s wife. The crime stopped mysteriously in 1919.

However the crime writer Michael Newton was not able to find any evidence indicating any suspect was killed making the case more complicated.
